I get the same thing that was mentioned above, but my log reads as this. I tried the http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=59820&highlight=Fedora at first in hopes to see it work as it did for hjnet1, but it still gives the same failed result. What could I do to be able to fix this? Has anyone else experienced this before?

the pure-config.pl it mentions IS there, but when I open it, it is blank...

This error message is self-explanatory. Now, do the following
/scripts/ftpup --force
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/pure-config.pl
/usr/sbin/pure-config.pl /etc/pure-ftpd.conf

This is a simple Perl script that will run /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd with the right options, according to the configuration file. Did you do cpanelkenneth suggestion? If that doesn't work, you can seek professional help.
